#8087 closed enhancement (fixed)

Reduce workflow keyword options when opening new tickets

Description

Either removing or disabling options in the Workflow Keywords <select> can reduce clutter and avoid some confusion on the Create New Ticket page.

Some people open tickets on (Core) Trac with the 'reporter-feedback' or 'changes-requested' keywords, referring to their feedback or their request for changes.

Several other keywords do not fit for new tickets either, such as 'needs-refresh' and 'close'.

Most of the 'needs-' keywords are good, but it would be too early to assign most 'has-' keywords. I have added 'has-patch' and 'has-screenshots' when attaching files to new tickets, and 'has-unit-tests' might fit just as well as the other two.

Apart from 'good-first-bug', the gardenerKeywordList is usually unnecessary for new tickets. For the rare occasion that a gardener knows a ticket needs 'early' consideration before it is open, the manual entry field is still available.

The list of keywords in the pull request probably needs a little editing, but it's a start.

Would it be worth keeping them as available for gardeners perhaps? Although we could adjust that later if it's shown to be an issue I guess. I'm tempted to commit as-is.
